GOD IS THINKING

LL thinking
denotes multitude or dyad at any rate, because it is a relation in
the middle of certain extremes, conjoining the one who thinks with
what is being thought. And none of them by nature saves simplicity
entirely, since the one who thinks is some subject, having
necessarily as a constituent the power of thinking. And what is
being thought is at any rate a subject or into a subject, having as
a constituent the potentiality of being thought or having underlying
the essence of that, of which itself is the power. There isn’t any
being at all, that is in itself a simple essence or mind, so that to
be also indivisibly one. But God, whether we may call him essence,
He doesn’t have by his nature as a constituent the power of being
thought, because He is not composite, or (if we call him) thinking,
He doesn’t have by his nature an underlying essence receptive of
thinking.
